| Abstract: | (from the chapter) This chapter has addressed the benefits of religion on recovery from relationship problems. To begin, the current prevalence of problems in marriage and family relationships is surveyed. The issue of developing a theological foundation for caregiving is addressed, and several religious therapy models are mentioned. The issue of ethically and legally incorporating religion into therapy is discussed and numerous guidelines are detailed. Finally, specific religious practices, namely, being part of a religious community, prayer and meditation, forgiveness, scripture reading, and others are discussed. Continued investigation into the healing effects of religious faith, practices, and community is recommended in order to further understand the effects of religion on recovery from relationship problems.
